This is who we are sounding like on DU-Dr. Howard Dean Makes Our Case for Blowing Up the Health Care
RUSH: Well, imagine that, folks, Howard Dean is actually making our case for just blowing up the health care bill. That's coming up in mere moments, and also Susan Collins, who I focused on yesterday and asked, "What's a nice way to call somebody ignorant?" Susan Collins now says the health bill is too deeply flawed for her to support it. Byron York has it, and it's interesting. The health care bill will be a primary focus of the program today as it requires it be. Rush Limbaugh here at 800-282-2882. And the e-mail address, ElRushbo@eibnet.com.

http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_121609/content/01125109.guest.html

Edit; John McCain also agrees with Dr. Dean. With both of these two idiot behind Dr. Dean, it convinces me that moving forward is the best thing for the country. We all know the bill is not perfect but at least it's a start.

1. I try to think for myself instead of worrying about what Rush or McCain thinks. nt

8. well then
Edited on Sat Dec-19-09 08:59 PM by griffi94
isn't it a good thing they have you to help show them the way.
the fact that the wingnuts are against it doesn't make it a good bill.
the idiots you quoted here are against it because obama is a democrat not because they agree with anybody on du.

4. Rick Santorum opposes same-sex marriage.
So does Joe Biden. So does Barrack Obama. With those two good men behind the idiot, I'm sure that banning gay marriage is the best thing for the country. :sarcasm:

6. It's funny how sometimes people on the left and people on the right can agree
on a final outcome but for totally different reasons.

10. As for Susan Collins, I doubt very seriously that she was ever anywhere
near supporting a bill no matter what was in its final version, and I say so because I do not believe there is a lick of integrity in her personality whatsoever.

IMO she has the worst voice of any living U.S. Senator and absolutely no core values.

15. Key difference: Dean wants to make the bill more progressive; Rush and McCain don't
The skewed logic is used in a bad way on purpose by defenders of the bill. They say that because a left-winger and a right-winger oppose the same thing, both positions are equally bad, however different the arguments may be.

18. I have a feeling Dr. Dean
may want to revise and extend his remarks, in light of the present reality.

23. Yeah, this is a pretty dishonest form of argument.
However, it would be honest to say that, by selling out like this, Obama is handing the GOP a pretty potent message to run with- Obama forced you to buy private health insurance.

Hilarious that they can make that argument and work toward the same goal, simultaneously.
